 Obsidian bead is made from obsidian stone, which gets its name from the Roman Obsius who found it in Ethiopia and brought it back. Obsidian is a natural forming glass that is created from volcanic activity, it does have the same makeup as granite, but since the magma cools so quickly, obsidian doesn’t have the chance to crystallize. While Obsidian beads are harder than window glass, it scratches very easily. Obsidian bead has been used for tool making and jewelry for centuries. It is found in Iceland, Italy, Japan, Wyoming, and Hawaii. |
